It’s officially been one year since we’ve started our partnership with Guardian Angels Service Dogs and our sponsorship of a soon-to-be service dog!

To help celebrate the newest member of our Eat'n Park family, we asked
our team members to help us name her! After over 200 suggestions were
submitted, we asked our Facebook family to choose a winner. After 3,500 votes,
our new furry friend was named Parker!

Parker, a former
rescue dog, is now almost a year and a half old! Over the past 12 months, she’s
been learning how to mitigate the effects of conditions such as post-traumatic
stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, seizure disorders and mobility issues
through weekly training classes. In addition, her Foster Family has been
working with her regularly on specific tasks including house manners and
desensitizing her to public areas.

This month,
Parker will finally meet her veteran recipient and the pair will go through a 10-day
pairing program. During this time, Guardian Angels will make sure that the two
are a good match and train the veteran on how to work with her.

Keep an eye on
our blog for future updates on Parker and her new family!

Enhancing the lives of our military, veterans and their families is one of the three focus areas of our philanthropic efforts. In addition to supporting various organizations dedicated to serving veterans, all November long, former and current military members will receive 10% off for themselves and their entire party each visit (dine-in only).

Proof of service is required for this discount, so please be prepared to show your Military ID or your Veteran Designation on your driver’s license. We will also extend this promotion to service members who arrive in uniform. The discount will be applied to any meals on the same check.

While this offer cannot be combined with any other coupon offer or discount, it can be used with our free coffee promotion for voters on Election Day on Tuesday, November 6. It’s also not available for takeout.Parker, a Soon-To-Be Service Dog

One year ago, we announced our partnership with Guardian Angels Medical Service Dogs and our sponsorship of a soon-to-be service dog, who will be paired with a local veteran after her training is complete. Service dogs help to mitigate the challenges many veterans face, including PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), traumatic brain injury, seizure disorders, glucose imbalance, mobility issues, and more.

To help celebrate the newest member of our Eat'n Park family, we asked our team members to help us name her! Over 200 suggestions were submitted, but we just still couldn’t decide. So, we asked our Facebook family, and after 3,500 votes, our new furry friend was named Parker!

Every year, we select a Pittsburgh icon to honor with their very own Smiley Cookie, available exclusively for order from SmileyCookie.com. Sales from these cookies benefit our Caring for Kids campaign, which supports local children’s hospitals. Past honorees have been Pittsburgh Dad, Brett Keisel, Rick Sebak, and Mikey & Bob from 96.1 KISS.

We are proud to announce that our 2018 honorary Smiley Cookie is Cam Hayward!

100% of the proceeds from Cam’s Smiley Cookies will benefit local children’s hospitals through our Caring for Kids campaign. You can find these nut-free, individually wrapped cookies exclusively on SmileyCookie.com - but hurry, because they’re only available for order until November 19!
